Call of Duty Advanced Warfare: Next wave of weapon updates for Xbox One and PS4 ONLY

CALL of Duty: Advanced Warfare developers, Sledgehammer Games, have confirmed that the next wave of weapons updates will be for Xbox One and PS4 only as Xbox 360 and PS3 players have now reached their limit.

Advanced Warfare fans on Xbox 360 and PS3 will not be getting additional weapon content apart from D

Having revealing what was being added to the game on June 23, Advanced Warfare fans were also informed that the newly planned variants would not be deployed on the old-gen consoles due to their memory limit.

The second set of Royalty Elite Weapon Variants are being deployed later this week and has the same purple and gun-metal camouflage that matches the Grand Master Prestige gear.

They will feature different stat changes from the first set and will benefit from an increased reload speed vs. their Elite counterparts.

Sledgehammer say they've developed this new set with continued weapon balancing in mind but also wanting to provide a slight edge to fans who get them.

Royalty Variants v2 will be available in both Supply Drops and Advanced Supply Drops on Xbox One, while players who complete matching gear sets will be awarded an in-game XP Bonus.

"We mentioned that both the SAC3 non-akimbo weapon variants and the new Royalty elite variants were coming out on Xbox One, PS4, and PC," Condrey confirmed.

"Many of you have asked about them coming to prior gen consoles. Since launch, we’ve been committed to delivering a seamless experience between the two console generations and PC.

"We have hit a hard memory limit on last generation consoles. This memory limit prevents us from adding more weapons to those platforms. We don’t like it any more than you, because we care about Advanced Warfare players on all platforms, but it's a limitation that is outside of our control.

"People far smarter than I spend a lot of energy trying to solve this hard development limit, and we simply can’t deliver new content at the rate we’re currently producing it for next generation devices (Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC). Delivering a true next generation experience has always been our focus, and at times it forces us to make difficult decisions between the two console generations.

"However, please note that this will not affect the DLC Season, and we’re planning to release DLC4 for all consoles later this year."
